HALP! What does this mean?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I applied to Emmanuel College - it was one of my top choices, so I applied Early Action II - and it was one of the first schools that I sent everything to in terms of SAT scores and my Common Application. I'm expecting a decision on the 15th (this Wednesday) -- but tonight, at around 5pm, my father received a phone call from the head of admissions (whom I spoke to before through email about some questions I had a few months back) - my father didn't answer the phone because he didn't recognize the number.</p>

<p>She left a message explaining that she wanted to speak to me "at my earliest convenience" -- which is weird. My father thinks its really bad (like I'm missing something critical from my application, which I doubt, because it was the first school to get SAT scores from me back in Oct. and it was literally the first school I applied to, so I made sure everything was perfect.) I don't know what to think. Emmanuel is perfect for me because it's in Boston, it has my major, and it's a lot less of a financial burden than my other two choices - BU and NEU.</p>

<p>What could the call tentatively mean? I know answers are going to be merely speculation - but my parents and I are new to the college thing, they're immigrants and I'm the first to go to college, so all of this is terrifyingly new.</p>

<p>Maybe a call of congratulations, because what more would she need if your application is complete? Good luck. :)</p>

<p>But I got accepted to four other schools thus so far - and none gave me a personal congratulations. :frowning: If something was missing, wouldn’t she have notified me a little earlier than two days before decisions are sent out?</p>

<p>Yes, cause it takes time to process everything. I’m 99.9% sure you got in!</p>

5

<p>You probably got in. Just call them back and see what they actually wanted to talk to you about. They would ask for missing info long before the day decisions are announced.</p>

6

<p>On Twitter; people are saying they received “acceptance calls” from Emmanuel. :)</p>

7

<p>I got accepted.</p>

<p>As you get older, you will learn that most of the things you worry about don’t come to pass! And the things that do happen, you don’t anticipate, so just go with the flow!</p>
